Peter Retzlaff and Ian Froman provide an overview of jazz playing from early, small-group jazz up through post-bop and ECM styles. Retzlaff's section contains a complete approach to ride cymbal playing, ideas for handling turnarounds, and a section on brushes, while Froman tackles approaches to modern jazz timekeeping. This book features extensive exercises in 3/4 time, as well as explanatory audio examples, and play-along tracks. |
